Dominicks Lawn & Landscape: Reliable Landscaping Services Serving Evansville, IN 47725

We use a multi-step approach for Evansville lawns. First, we carefully level the damaged areas by filling in low spots with a soil-sand mix, which allows grass to regrow without harming the tree. Then, we oversee with a shade-tolerant grass blend to establish a thick, healthy turf that competes better and covers the uneven ground. This method repairs the damage while maintaining the health of your valuable trees.

For persistent standing water, our core lawn care service includes aeration and specialized top-dressing. Aeration creates channels in the soil to improve water infiltration and reduce compaction, a common cause of pooling. We then apply a soil amendment that helps condition the earth, enhancing drainage over time. For severe cases, we can advise on and install more permanent solutions like French drains or regrading.

We don't recommend simply adding dirt, as this often just moves the water problem elsewhere. In Evansville's clay-heavy soils, adding more soil can worsen compaction. Our expert approach addresses the root cause—usually soil compaction or poor grading. Techniques like aeration and targeted top-dressing improve the soil structure itself, providing a long-term solution for proper drainage and a healthier lawn overall.
